About Me

Pensacola Beach, FL
I live on Pensacola Beach, just past 23 ave. Most of the time there is swell I'll be surfing, but I'm going to try and take more pictures for this site. I just moved here from tampa so come introduce yourself if you see me shooting or surfing. I can also email you better quality pics.

Sunday 2-26

1pm update, definitely building, about waist to chest with strong ese winds, kinda cold out there.

Friday, February 24, 2012

Fun Friday

Waist to chest out back, feathering on the outside bar and sometimes rolling through.  Winds sw around 10 forecast to increase throughout the morning.  Looked like some drift to the east, but not nearly as bad as last sunday.

The front is slowing down but we are looking at some storms around noon to one before the winds go offshore somewhere in the early afternoon.  Right now the waves at both the near and far buoy are around 5 ft 7seconds and on the increase, hopefully they get bigger as the winds pick up in advance of the front.

Quick tip of the day, spread out. Last sunday afternoon I checked almost every avenue and beach access on pensacola beach, the best waves I saw and surfed were nowhere near the normal spots where everyone bunches up.  The sand moves and so do the sandbars.  So get out there, find a sandbar, and spend some time in the green room to start your weekend.

2-23-11

We have some small and inconsistent waves out there this morning, up to waist high if you need to surf now, but the wind is blowing pretty hard out of the SW. Look for continued wind and building waves throughout the day. The wind should keep blowing until tomorrow midday when it switches to the NW and begins to clean up.  Start the weekend early I guess.

Finally Friday

Well yesterday didn't pan out as expected.  Only was around thigh high at best, the wind just died and swell never built.  I actually was about 8 miles out in the Gulf deploying some equipment and I knew there was no way it was going to get to chest high, too bad I didn't have any service so I could update from my phone.

Today its flat and will be all day.

Saturday  has a 90% chance of rain and should see building SE swell and windy conditions up to chest high in the afternoon.

Looks like yesterdays out there guess for Sunday  might just pan out.  We should wake up to head high south swell, swinging to the W, and an offshore windswitch just after noon.  Could be really fun.

In the long term, looks like chest high-ish surf for next tuesday and wednesday with choppy conditions.


Still looking for a longboard or a 5-8ish LOST ROCKET. CASH or TRADE

Rainy Thursday

This morning the waves are pretty insignificant, but there are a few small ones out there in the rain.

Waves might build this afternoon into the waist high range with South Winds.

Tomorrow sees micro/mostly unrideable waves with offshore winds.

Saturday starts flat and then builds up to chest+ by the late afternoon/overnight with strong onshore winds.

Sunday might have a little something left over from Saturday, just depends how hard the wind blows overnight and when the wind switches North in the morning, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it will be pretty good sunday morning when the wind switches.

Next week sees building swell on monday afternoon that continues throughout much of the work week.

2-15-11

Probably around thigh high, occasional lucky waist high set, wind is kinda side offshore, ene, around 10. Definitely something to play on for the bigger boards.  Forecast coming later.

Rainy Tuesday

Didn't actually see the waves except what I could see from the road driving to work.  However there are waves, I would guess chest to head high and kinda choppy.  The Orange beach buoy is actually up to 8 ft, which I thought might be an error, but looking at the overnight data looks like its true, maybe slightly embellished.  The far pensacola buoy is at 5 feet, so throughout the day we are probably going to see head high waves until dark.  And then the wind turns offshore. Guess were just unlucky.  So get out there and give it a go. Did I mention its raining, but its gonna clear up later on, drive safe.

Still looking for someones longboard that they don't want/use anymore, so I can have something to slide around on during the summer. Cash or trade photo session.

Monday

Still flat and really cold. Thats looking to change late afternoon today and into tomorrow.  Might get up around knee high this afternoon, and then  tomorrow we see building waves into the chest high range maybe+ before dropping overnight and then picking back up again on thursday. Thursday sees a better chance off offshore winds during daylight hours but the swell will probably be smaller. We'll have to wait and see.

Still looking for a used longboard to play around on, I know someone has one lying around they never use.
I'd gladly buy it or maybe trade a half day photo session or something. Email me and we'll work something out.

Wednesday

Its flat, and will be until a small bump early next week.

On another note, still looking for a 5-8 or 5-9 lost rocket for trade for a new lost sub scorcher 5-11

Also, looking for someone with an old longboard laying around that they would be willing to part with for not too much cash, doesn't have to be great just watertight, need something for the small waves of summer and for teaching people on. Let me know.

Flat

Flat

Wouldn't it be nice if we had waves like yesterday just once a week

Sunday, February 5, 2012

Super Bowl Sunday

There are definitely still waves, and the conditions should be good. Whether they are good now or will be later is hard to tell. White out fog conditions out here on the beach, can't even see the water from the boardwalk.  But I can here the waves and the wind is calm and forecast to blow light offshore in a little bit.  So spread out find the right sandbar and have fun.

Groundhog Day

Its absolutely glassy out there, too bad the waves are pretty much gone.  Knee maybe a lucky thigh high at better sandbars.  There was a little crew of longboarders out at the cross so they must be getting something.  

In the near future, look for waves to drop especially with the high tide this evening, and into tomorrow, before building up to chest high Friday afternoon and Chest high + saturday, with wind dropping along with waves on Super Bowl Sunday.

See yall out there
